 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1 1/2   c            Flour
  1 3/4   ts           Baking powder
    1/2   ts           Salt
    1/4   ts           Allspice
    1/4   ts           Nutmeg
    1/2   c            Sugar
    1/3   c            Margarine
  1                    Egg, slightly beaten
    1/4   c            Milk
 10       oz           Mandarin orange tin, drained
                       TOPPING (optional)
    1/4   c            Melted butter
    1/4   c            Sugar
    1/2   ts           Cinnamon

 Note:  tin of broken segments is less expensive than
 whole segments. About a cup of fresh orange pieces
 could be used.

 Sift flour with other dry ingredients.  Cut in
 Margarine. Combine egg and milk, and add all at once
 to dry ingredients -- mix only until moistened.

 Fold in orange pieces and break them up more if batter
 seems to dry at first.  Fill greased muffin tins 3/4
 full.

 Bake at 350F for 20 to 25 minutes.

 Remove from muffin tins while still warm.  Dip tops in
 melted butter and sugar-cinnamon mixture.  Makes 12
 large muffins.
